A girl standing on a bridge throws a stone vertically downward with an initial velocity of 15.0 m/s into the river below. If the stone hits the water 2.00 seconds later, what is the height of the bridge above the water

the height of the bridge above the water is 49.6 m.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the stone, u = 15 m/s

time of motion of the stone, t = 2 s

The height of the bridge above the water is calculated from the following kinematic equation as follows;

h = ut + ¹/₂gt²

h = (15 x 2) + ¹/₂(9.8)(2²)

h = 30 + 19.6

h = 49.6 m

Therefore, the height of the bridge above the water is 49.6 m.
